Real´s Adebayor: ´I´m a nice guy´

Real Madrid forward Emmanuel Adebayor has insisted he’s not a trouble maker, despite disagreements with previous managers and fellow players.

Adebayor has enjoyed a fine start to his time at Real making scoring two goals in three appearances.

But the Togolese striker has made positive starts elsewhere before falling out with colleagues – most recently at Manchester City.

He had a public dispute with team-mate and Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure which resulted in the pair being pulled apart in training.

“I’m not a troublemaker at all. I’m a very nice guy and I love enjoying my life,” said Adebayor, who is likely to feature when Real Madrid face Espanyol in Barcelona on Sunday.

“I love enjoying myself. I love laughing a lot. I love playing. I love joking. That’s how I see life. Sometimes, you know, we are all human beings, sometimes it happens that even with me and my mother we don’t find an agreement.”

“That’s part of life. That for me is normal. So, I’m not a troublemaker and I would never fight against anybody.”

Latest reports have suggested the 26-year-old’s loan deal will become permanent with City expected to make a significant loss on the ?25 million they paid for him.

Despite only making 34 appearances at Eastlands the former Arsenal striker scored 15 goals.

He’s not the only player to move from Manchester to Madrid either – and Adebayor is already enjoying linking up with former United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

“I think Ronaldo is, yeah, a strong player. I have a chance to train with him now,” Adebayor said.

“I can guarantee you how he works every day. He’s always in the gym working to be very fit. To push him to the floor is not easy, so whenever he got on the floor I think he got a lot of kicks.

“I think Ronaldo got a lot of kicks. But that’s the game and I think he will come back stronger and score a lot of goals for Madrid as he’s doing at the moment.”
